im thinking about doing my rear bumper. i like my chrome front bumper. adds a little style to it! haha but i never trusted the duplicolor bed liner. they have too many products. one has to fail and thats it.

my front valance was done with rustoleum bedliner and it has held up great... all I did was cleaned it with rubbing alcohol and then sanded it and sprayed... now just itching to paint the tan and roll pan... all going black

if you can it is easier to tape off and then paint... that way you don't have to fight with the bumper... biggest thing is prep!! take your time and many light coats.....

just a word to everyone, dont use duplicolor, its junk. my clear coat can was defective? so it sprayed by its self wasting my money. the bedliner i previously put on was from them and it peeled. rustoleum is quality and thats a fact!
